Electrorheological Effects of Synthesized Octa-cyanopropylsilsesquioxane Cage Structure.


ABSTRACT: This article introduces a new electrorheological (ER) fluid. A molecular cage structure for electrorheological applications has been synthesized, and the ER behavior of the octa-functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) variant in silicone oil (PDMS) has been shown. The hydrolyzation route has been used in the synthesis, the microstructure has been displayed using scanning electron microscopy, the yield has been ascertained, and the compound has been characterized. The rheological properties are demonstrated on the ER fluid through steady flow and oscillatory tests to investigate the effects of change in concentration on the functional group attached to the inorganic silicon-oxygen core structure of the POSS compound. The electrorheological efficiency was analyzed, and dielectric characterization was done. The flow curve was described by the Herschel-Bulkley model, and yield stress values were derived from the model. The octa-cyanoPOSS/PDMS electrorheological fluid has been shown to have ER activity.
